They were unaware of why Moe and Frederick were acting that way. Suzie tried to lighten the mood, glancing back and forth between Moe and Frederick, saying, "This is not the first time you two met, right? Why do you seem so awkward?"Frederick shot her a stern look. Their previous meeting was for different reasons! "Uncle, Auntie, I have something I'd like to discuss with you privately. Do you have a moment?" Moe said as he decided to be upfront with Suzie's parents after careful consideration."Of course!" Frederick immediately responded. Suzie chimed in, "What about me?""You can wait here," Frederick replied, curious about what Moe wanted to discuss with them.Suzie was confused, wondering what was going on. With a baffled expression, she watched as Frederick and Andrea led Moe upstairs to the study.To prevent Suzie from eavesdropping, Frederick reminded the butler, Hugh, "Hugh, keep an eye on her. If she tries to listen in, let us know.""Sure, Mr. Scott," Hugh dutif
"Family," Moe answered honestly.Suzie was confused, asking, "Then why didn't you let me join the conversation?""If you were there, you'd definitely take the initiative to mediate and speak on my behalf. I wanted to hear your parents' genuine responses," Moe, who knew Suzie's personality well, replied.Marriage was a significant matter, important to both the individual and their parents. If Suzie were present, even if Frederick and Andrea had any reservations, they would likely keep them to themselves, wanting to please their daughter. However, Moe did not want that. He wanted Frederick and Andrea to truly trust him with Suzie from the depths of their hearts.Suzie was touched and scolded him playfully, "You're such an idiot!"Moe remained silent.Around ten at night, Moe proposed leaving."I'll go with you!" Suzie wanted to spend more time with Moe. "I'll come see you tomorrow. Send me a message when you wake up," Moe understood that taking her away in the middle of the nigh
After seeing how serious Moe was, Suzie did not push him further. When they returned home, Moe went to help her tidy up the bedroom, suggesting she get some rest."Wait." Suzie stopped him as he prepared to leave.With his usual cold demeanor, Moe asked, "What is it?""Stay with me," Suzie said.Moe was stunned, clearly not expecting her to make this request."Starting tonight, you'll sleep in the same bed with me," Suzie stated seriously. "We aren't married yet; it's not appropriate. After we're married and have the certificate, then I'll sleep with you," Moe instinctively refused, his cool demeanor showing a hint of discomfort."Are you disgusted by me?" Suzie started to tease.Moe looked slightly puzzled. Suzie continued, "Because I've asked other people out?""I almost forgot about that." Moe calmed himself down and unlocked his phone. "Send me the information of the people you've been with; I'll have them checked."Suzie was speechless. Moe then took her phone, say
"Morgan Snyder and Moe Smith, don't they sound quite similar? I suspected Morgan was you from the moment you added me. But just to be sure, I borrowed your phone to make a call," Suzie revealed, showing off her intelligence. Moe recalled what had happened and asked in surprise, "So, when you borrowed my phone, it wasn't for a call but to confirm my identity?"Suzie nodded. "Yes."Moe pursed his lips. At that time, he had also wondered if Suzie suspected him. However, he found no changes when he examined the background app sequence. However, there were no records of the number she dialed in the call logs afterward. He simply assumed she had deleted it.Yet, it turned out...She lied to him."You must be thinking I'm clever, right?" Suzie could not help but feel a little gleeful, seeing Moe's slight frustration. Besides outperforming him academically during their school days, she had been constantly outshone by him in their careers after graduation. Now, she has finally gained an
Moe woke up around six in the morning as he could not sleep well. He decided to get up and make breakfast for Suzie.Normally, Suzie would not wake up early unless she had to go to work, but today was an exception. As she turned over to cuddle Moe, she could not find him. Puzzled, she reluctantly opened her eyes to see what was going on."Moe?" Suzie called out.However, since Moe was busy in the kitchen, he did not hear her.Suzie rubbed her slightly disheveled hair and walked out, curious about the commotion in the kitchen. She called out to him, "Moe."Moe walked out from the kitchen and asked, "What's up?""What are you doing? It smells so good," Suzie said, heading toward the kitchen."Breakfast," Moe said, grabbing something from the side and holding it behind his back as he approached her. Suzie found it was all her favorite dishes. She was about to turn around and pinch his cheek, praising him for being thoughtful, when a bouquet suddenly appeared.Moe stared at Suzie
Caroline replied, "You need it more than I do, Suzie. After all, you've been single for twenty-eight years.""What's wrong?" Moe noticed her displeasure."She said my announcement was fake," Suzie grumbled."Ignore her. We know the truth, and that's what matters," Moe advised. Suzie was bothered by this. "No! Ever since she got her first boyfriend, she's been flaunting it in front of me and subtly implying that I'm single and unwanted!"She would have brushed it off in the past, but she felt the need to confront her now."What about taking a photo together?" Moe asked, picking up on the voice message content. Suzie was still contemplating when her phone vibrated again. It was an incoming call from Caroline. Suzie slid to answer and put it on speaker between her and Moe."Do you really have a boyfriend now?" Caroline's voice was rather seductive. "Of course," Suzie replied."How about meeting up tomorrow? It's a perfect opportunity for us to see who your boyfriend is," Caro
Suzie stopped typing, her eyes lighting up.Exactly! Moe did say to meet at the entrance, and he did not promise to dine and chat with them."Momo, you're a genius!" Suzie was all smiles.Moe felt a little embarrassed under her praise, muttering, "It's nothing.""Knowing those girls, they'll definitely try to flirt with you once they see you. Don't worry, I'll protect you," Suzie, who understood Caroline and her friends' penchant for changing boyfriends every so often, said."Okay," Moe responded.Their recent posts on social media also caused quite a stir among their friends, especially Yoel. As soon as he saw their updates, he called Moe, launching into a barrage of questions."Aren't you two a little heartless? You didn't even tell me about such a significant matter! I'm the one pulling the strings for you two!" Yoel complained. "We just didn't want to disturb your honeymoon with your wife with such trivial matters," Suzie offered a quick excuse.Moe chimed in, "Exactly.
As a result, he responded with the briefest replies whenever Suzie reached out to him during that time."Forget it! Considering you're behaving now, I won't hold it against you. But we need to settle the payment with Yoel," Suzie said as she put her phone away.Moe asked, "How much?"Suzie flipped through her chat records with Yoel and continued, "Two dollars per message. He started charging when he was about to get married, and it came out to around 14,000 valid messages. He offered a discount, though, at 25,000 dollars."Moe quickly sent a message to Yoel.[Moe: Do you think making money from Suzie like this is a good idea?][Yoel: Our deal was to settle the payment once you two were officially together. If you hadn't gotten together, it would've been free. In other words, I'm making money off you.][Moe: Joshua pays you a good salary.] [Moe: Who would complain about having too much money?]Moe sighed.[Yoel: Transfer the money quickly. I need to spend it on my wife.]Moe
